Feasibility of tagged <scp>MRI</scp> at 0.55 T
Tagged MRI is feasible at 0.55 T and can be used for functional analysis of muscle motion such as cardiac and speech applications, despite the short T<sub>1</sub>. Spiral bSSFP along with REALTAG preparation pulses provide adequate SNR and contrast to visualize cardiac systolic mechanics and to visualize tongue deformation during short speech utterances.
